In Alamogordo, New Mexico, Florence Nightingale is known for being a bit cantankerous.
She’s an older, bigger lady and when she stops working, she often needs some gentle coaxing before she’ll start again. The coronavirus pandemic has pushed her to the brink, and working so much overtime depleted her tank. She spent the holiday break getting some much-needed pampering.
Flo, as her friends call her, is a 40-foot Winnebago turned into a mobile nurse s station. She s Alamogordo Public Schools most lauded health care provider, purchased with CARES funding.
Her most frequent passenger? School nurse Lisa Patch, who is also the health services director for the rural school district just 80 miles from the Mexican border.
